8-Point Facelift in London
A non-surgical dermal filler facelift that restores lost cheek volume and softens lines around the nose and mouth, performed by GMC-registered doctors at our clinic on Edgware Road, Marble Arch.
What is an 8-point facelift?
An 8-point facelift, also known as the 8-point lift or a liquid facelift, is a non-surgical treatment that uses hyaluronic acid dermal filler at eight precise points on the face: four in the midface to lift and support the cheeks, and four in the lower face to soften the nasolabial folds and lines around the mouth. It takes about 45 minutes, results are visible straight away, and most people return to their normal day immediately.
How the 8 points work together
The 8-point lift was developed by Brazilian plastic surgeon Dr Mauricio de Maio as part of his MD Codes approach to facial assessment. It is now one of the most widely used non-surgical facelift techniques in London and worldwide. As we age, the face ages in two connected ways. The cheeks lose volume and descend, and that loss of support deepens the lines and shadows lower down. Treating only the lines often looks flat or overfilled. The 8-point technique treats the cause and the effect together.
Four midface lift points
Small amounts of filler are placed to restore support across the cheekbones and mid-cheek. This lifts the tissue above the nasolabial folds and brings back the soft contour of a younger face.
Four lower-face refining points
Filler is then used to smooth the nasolabial folds and the creases around the mouth, polishing the result once the midface is supported. Because the cheeks are doing the lifting, far less product is needed here. The result is balanced and natural: you look rested and refreshed, not “done”.
Is the 8-point facelift right for me?
It is usually best suited to people aged 35 and over who have started to notice early sagging but are not ready for, or do not want, surgery. It can help if you have:
Flattened or sunken cheeks
Loss of midface volume that makes the face look tired or older.
Deepening smile lines
Nasolabial folds running from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
Drooping lower face
Mouth corners turning down and early softening of the jawline.
If you have more advanced skin laxity, a good result is still often possible, but more filler or a combined plan may be needed. Your doctor will tell you honestly at consultation whether this treatment is right for you. The 8-point facelift does not include lip or eyelid treatment.
Who should not have an 8-point facelift?
The 8-point facelift is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, if you have an active skin infection or cold sore in the treatment area, or if you have a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine. Some medical conditions and medications, including blood thinners and certain autoimmune conditions, may also affect suitability. Your doctor will review your full medical history at consultation before any treatment goes ahead.

Possible side effects
Like any injectable treatment, dermal fillers carry some risk. Mild redness, swelling or tenderness at the injection points is common and settles within a few days. Bruising is uncommon. Serious complications are rare, which is why your treatment should always be carried out by a qualified medical professional who can recognise and manage them. Your doctor will discuss all risks with you at consultation.
